There WILL be a Human Rights Council

Thanks to the Independent for details of the UN General Assembly resolution (US voting against) to establish a Human Rights Council.

What impact will it have in our field? Will it give greater teeth or consolidation to initiatives such as the Sub-Commission resolutions on IP and Human Rights and the General Comment? Watch this space. Am inclined to think such matters might come far down the list- part of an inherent conflict between state responsibilities, public interest and private rights and power?
